Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate management of data delivery and processing in a wireless communication system and, more particularly, that support Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) reordering of packets during a handoff operation. Various aspects described herein can mitigate processing delays associated with PDCP reordering of packets at handoff by determining, communicating, and/or otherwise identifying one or more indicators during handoff that facilitate lossless communication of packets to a terminal with minimal delay. These indicators can include sequence number information for a source Node B, information regarding a step or jump size applied to a sequence number by a target Node B, a reset command, and/or other suitable indicators.

Abstract: Un système et un procédé d'isolement de télémétrie acoustique devant être utilisés avec des ensembles tubulaires, comme des tiges de forage et des colonnes de production, comprennent un transmetteur d'onde acoustique et un isolateur acoustique. Une onde descendante qui se propage en direction de l'isolateur est réfléchie de manière substantiellement en phase avec une onde montante propagée de la source d'onde acoustique à distance de l'isolateur. De plus, l'isolateur acoustique est pareillement efficace pour réfléchir les ondes montantes qui proviennent de sous l'isolateur, protégeant ainsi davantage la source d'onde acoustique contre toute interférence nuisible. La construction de l'isolateur utilise une combinaison particulière d'ondes qui voyagent en parallèle dans des matériaux dont les propriétés contribuent à la combinaison avantageuse des ondes réfléchies et transmises. La conception de l'isolateur procure généralement une fonction de filtrage de bande, aidant ainsi à l'isolation en fréquence d'un transmetteur acoustique sur une bande passante qui peut être restreinte par la géométrie de la tige de forage ou par les composants de la colonne de production. Cela amène substantiellement toute l'énergie des ondes émises à se déplacer dans une direction choisie le long de la tige de forage, pour ainsi augmenter l'efficacité de la télémétrie acoustique dans la tige de forage.

Abstract: Dans de nombreux systèmes cellulaires, la réutilisation d'une bande passante spectrale crée des problèmes dans des régions frontières entre les cellules et des secteurs où la puissance du signal provenant de stations de base adjacentes ou des transmissions de secteur adjacents d'une seule station de base peut être approximativement équivalente. Cette invention offre un nouveau type de diversité se rapportant à une diversité à porteuses multiples, en mettant en uvre des porteuses multiples, en attribuant différents niveaux de puissance à chaque fréquence de porteuse, pour chaque station de base, ou en décalant des antennes secteurs. La cellule ou les zones de couverture de secteur peuvent être réglées de façon à minimiser ou à supprimer tout chevauchement entre la cellule ou des régions frontières de secteurs de différentes fréquences de porteuse. Des nuds mobiles circulant à travers le système permettent d'exploiter une diversité à porteuses multiples en détectant des porteuses et en choisissant d'utiliser une porteuse de non-frontière, sur la base d'autres critères du système, afin d'améliorer la performance. Des porteuses de frontière peuvent, sans que cela ne soit nécessaire, être recensées et non utilisées par un terminal sans fil.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mutidirectionally reinforced fiber preforms that conform easily to complex curva-tures, such as, composite turbine fan cases, jet engine containment rings, aircraft fuselage frames, aircraft window frames, and flanged rings for attaching nacelles to aircraft engines. The present invention provides mutidirectionally reinforced shape woven preforms with improved strength for composite structures that are axisymmetric as well as non-axisymmetric in nature. The inven-tion is a preform used to reinforce a composite structure which includes a contour woven fabric portion, bi-axially braided, tri-axi-ally braided or bias fabric portion, and/or a polar woven fabric portion, and a method of making thereof. The preform may option-ally include a three-dimensionally woven portion. The combination of different forms of fabrics allows the preform to be produced without cutting and darting of the individual plies. Eliminating these cuts and darts improves the strength and performance of the resulting structure.

Title: Composition and method for recovering hydrocarbon fluids from a subterranean reservoir
Inventor: MORRIS JOHN D
IPC: C08L33/08
Filed: 2009-04-21
Granted: 2014-12-02
Abstract: Tins invention is directed to a composition comprising expandable polymeric microparticles comprising hydrophobic polymers having a backbone with labile pendant groups, the microparticles having an unexpanded volume average particle size diameter of from about 0.05 to about 50 microns. The starting configuration of the hydrophobic polymers constrains the microparticle to an unexpanded volume average particle size diameter of from about 0.05 to about 50 microns. Labile pendant groups on the backbone are subject to hydrolysis under a change in environmental conditions that results in release of the expandable microparticle so that the microparticle expands. The invention is further directed to the use of the composition for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations and increasing the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des systèmes et sur des procédés pour la réduction de consommation d'énergie et la diminution d'accumulation de contrainte d'un dispositif dans des dispositifs d'affichage à cristaux liquides (LCD) rafraîchis à basse fréquence. Dans un exemple de mode de réalisation, deux ou plusieurs transistors en série sont utilisés pour maintenir des charges sur un pixel du dispositif d'affichage à cristaux liquides. Pour empêcher une contrainte négative sur les transistors, les transistors sont entraînés en alternance dans un état « passant », de telle sorte qu'aucun transistor ne subisse un long temps « bloqué ». Dans un autre mode de réalisation, des circuits et des formes d'onde de signalisation pour effectuer une écriture de trame et une diminution de contrainte sont proposés, lesquels minimisent une consommation d'énergie dynamique et une consommation d'énergie statique dans des circuits à décharge électrostatique (ESD) périphériques.
